7 Things you Didn't know about your Baby

I found this insert in my parent magazine and found these facts interesting.

1) During the nine months between conception and birth, a baby's weight increases 3,000 million times. At 5 weeks pregnant baby is the size of a pin head.

2)Between birth and age 2, an infant will quadruple in size.

3)At birth, a baby's brain is 10 percent of her total body weight, an adult is 2 percent.

4)Within 45 hours of birth, a newborn knows her own mother by her smell. A blindfolded mom can identify her own child form a host of other babies by scent alone. Ellie is a good smelling baby :)

5)At birth, babies have the ability to swim. I once read at about 4 months is when you can place child face down in water and mother nature will kick in. I'm almost half tempted. Not!

6) Human babies are the only primates to smile at their parents.

7)A newborn has feet that are 1/3 of heir adult length. By age one, they are nearly half their adult size.
